Answer 2

Here is your question:

$\frac{1}{2} ^{2}$

When a question asks "a number to the second power", you have to multiply the number or fraction by itself. In this question, you have to multiply $\frac{1}{2}$ by itself.

When multiplying fractions, the result will be:

$\frac{Product\ of\ Numerator}{Product\ of\ Denominator}$

Multiply:

$\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{4}$

ANSWER:  $\frac{1}{4}$
